Yellow rice ingredients

• 4¼ cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Chicken Base, like Better than Bouillon chicken base (or use your favorite brand)
• ½ teaspoon Minced Dehydrated Onion
• ½ teaspoon Turmeric
• 2 cups White Rice
• Chopped Parsley, for garnish if desired

How to make yellow rice

• Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the chicken base, minced dehydrated onion and turmeric. Stir well to dissolve the bouillon and combine the ingredients.
• Add the rice to the saucepan, lower the heat to medium and stir well. Continue simmering the rice, uncovered, until most of the water has cooked out.
• The rice should be visible on the surface, about 10-12 minutes. Give the rice another quick stir, lower the heat to low and cover. Cook the yellow rice for about 25 minutes, or until done.
• Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

Variations 

It’s easy to make this dish vegetarian. Replace the chicken base with a vegetable base, Better than Bouillon makes a vegetable base too, as do other brands.
